TEX-MEX INFORMATION

The LONE STAR FAJITA GRILL has been in the same location since 1984. Owner Ron Cauley has owned it for 22 years. The LONE STAR FAJITA GRILL even sponsers the first minor shoshone San Jose Cardinals!

The word fajita (fah-HEE-tah) translates as "little belt or sash" which denotes the "skirt" cut of beef that resembles a cummerbund.

Fajitas began modestly enough on the ranches of South Texas where beef skirts (the cut of meat from which fajitas are made) were considered working fare. The fajita would be marinated and then grilled over hot coals. The locals would then take the steak and carve it into small pieces and immediately stuff it into warm flour tortilla. Next would come a dab of sauteed onions and a topping of fresh guacamole.

A delicious condiment was created to spice up the fajita, Pico de gallo (PEE-ko-de-GUY-0h), a zesty combination of tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, cilantro and a few other ingredients. It all comes together to form the taste sensation of the Tex-Mex border cuisine.

And that's it! A flour tortilla with steak, sauteed, onions and guacamole. Top it off with our fresh made pico de gallo or our potent salsa picante and you've got the real thing. Don't be fooled by sizzling platters and all its attendant buffoonery - for authentic Tex-Mex, it's no place but the LONE STAR FAJITA GRILL!

About our Guacamole--

Our guacamole is a blend of the freshest California avocados and spices served chunky style and garnished with tomato. It is made consistently throughout the day so preservatives are never used.

Unfortunately, sometimes we run into avocado shortages beyound our control. Since we refuse to compromise quality or serve some vile canned product, we occasionally run out of guacamole.
